PowerBook Disassembly Guide

Posted by Hemos on from the no-disassembly-johnny-five dept.

kwiens writes "We've been slaving away for months to create the FixIt Guide Series-- a set of Free-As-In-Beer step by step PowerBook disassembly instructions. Maybe waiting another 6-18 months for those PowerBook G5's will be easier if you fix your old PowerBook now (or just use the Guides as a starting point for that killer PowerBook case mod). Guides are up now for the PowerBook G3 Wallstreet, Lombard, Pismo and Titanium PowerBook G4 Mercury, Onyx, DVI."

    in a room full of computer dorks, someone says things like "don't open your own case and fix your machine..."

    Mac people (the ones saying these things) aren't computer dorks. Just dorks.

    "I've had repairs cost over a $1k just because he let his "friend" replace the hard drive in his flat pannel imac"

    Whereas in a desktop PC, the worst you can do is pop a sub 60 component or two.
